asked by: James T
Expert Reply:
The Curt Class III Hitch, part # C45CR won't require drilling to be installed on a 2021 Toyota Highlander. The hitch fits all models of the 2021 Highlander, with the exception of the XSE model. For the XSE model, you'd use the # C99FR hitch. Be aware, that the hitch will fit models with an 18 inch or smaller spare tire under vehicle; larger spare tires will not be able to be stored under the vehicle.
You can look over the installation instructions for both hitches by using the provided links.
